Well, I finally took a pic of the grease fitting installed on the upper hub of
the Stratus reduction unit. Some of you asked about it, but I have been a long
time having my camera with me when at the hangar...but a picture is available
now for those who are interested...just ask.
I have over 100 hours on it since the installation and all looks well. For
those who were concerned about heat, it runs very cool. The bearings are simply
a little warm to the touch after flying...surprisingly cool. There is a little
residue that seeps out around the seal, but no mess. I have wiped it off two
or three times over past 100 hrs. I have shot a couple of squirts of grease
in at annual inspection...the second time today. Don Walker HDS TD 362 hrs.

Don,
I'd be very interested in your grease fitting picture, as probably many
stratus users are.
This one might be useful in the Matronics Photo share too.
Thanks,
